The Northern Pacific Tax Cases.

Bismarck Tribune: The most important
civil case before the court at the present
term is that involving the Northern Pacific
tax title issue. w. E. Dodge, district attor-
ney, Roderick D. Rose and John S. Wat
son of jamestown, arrived from James
town yesterday to argue the test case. The
time for hearing the argument was fixed
at 9 o'clock this morning before the open
ing of court. The case involves a princi-
pie and fact in law which is of vital inter
est all along the line of the Northern Pa
ciic. The land was purchased before the
Northern Pacific survey was made and
taxes We're paid thereon. After the survey
was made it was discovered that the land
was a part of the Northern Pacific grant,
which is exempt from taxation, and now
the purchasers bring action for the recov-
cry of the taxes. The outcome of the case
is awaited with much interest by many
land owners along the line of tie road.
rs to Arrests on The Crow Reservation.
A Washington special to the Pioneer
Press says the Indian bureau has no infor-
nation regarding the arrest of Montana
farmers for the alleged cutting of timber
on the Crow Indian reservation. The
commissioner believes that the agent would
not have taken any arbitrary action with
out reporting TO the office. He is dispos-
ed to think that the alleged ~depredations
of whites, if any, could not have been in
~juriously extensive, and that a Scarcity of
fuel would go far t excuse such depreda-
tons, if there was any such committed as
alleged in the special dispatch from Bill
lings. The theory entertained at the de-
partment is that Agent Williamson has
exceeded his authority if any arrests of
settlers have been made. In the absence
of any advice to the department, the theo-
~ is entertained here that there must be
a mistake. For had Agent Williamson
made the arrests reported, he would have
promptly notified the department of the
fact and asked for further instructions.

II appears that the latter accompanied
Mrs. Johnson only short distance upon
some special mission, after which she re
turned to the house. Shortly after
this q little colored girl, living
next door TO the JohnsOns, went
into the kitchen of the house
and discovered blood on the floor and
signs OF disorder. She called Jennie,
but received no answer. She then started
up the back stairway to her room. There
the child discovered the servant lying on
the floor, horribly beaten about the head
and breathing her last. The child gave
the alarm, but the woman died before the
physicians arrived, Two suspicious
characters are known to have been loaf
ing across the street when Mrs. johnson
and the child went cut, and it is thought
they entered the house and were disCOv-

hair and blood of a man upon it. aud it is
supposed the woman opposed the bur
glars with the above results. The men

Barge versus Freight Cars.

"How many thousand feet have you on board?" call to the skipper of large barge as we glide past him.
 "Two hundred and twenty thousand, |" was the answer. That sets me thinking a railroad car will carry 5000 feet. Call it 10, 900. That means that it would re- quire twenty-two cars to transport from Ottawa to New York the lumber which that single barge is freighting down so easily that two horses are towing 1t along at 8 good pace. Let us do little f1gur- ing and see the practical side of the great question of American transportation-the freighting of our heavy products across the continent. Perhaps we shall learn something. Here, within sight of me, are sixteen barges, lumber ladened. They average 18O, 600 feet. That gives us 8 to- tai of 2, ,880, 900 feet. It would require 29Q railroad cars to carry what these six teen barges are so easily floating. That little wheeZy tug, at an inconsiderable cost per barge per day, is doing the work of at least ten locomotives. AS look at the tug and barges and canal, l see how small, comparatively, is the invested capital, how trifing the wear and tear and risk, how small the number of men required to do for the country this immense and bene6- cent service, and exclafm in my impa- tience, "How long will the American people continue to transport their heavy and bulky products of forest, mine and farm by that most expensive and risky of all methods of transportation ever em- ployed by any people in the world"'--W H. H. Murray in New York World.

The Peassnss ss lGussIa.

As you get farther on into Russia the long boots of the country people show that you have come into the la@d of mud and bad roads. All along the line you sec that monotoAous beauty af tho noTehern landscape-the wild, thick grown f0reat, in which pines and birch strive for the mastery; the sluggish xiveE now broaden ing into 8 sedgY mere, .nnd deep, soft, marshy meadows roughly raiIed with split timber.
 But, above all, the landscape conveys to a stranger from the west ef Europe . sense of space, aa of cOuatry where every tree is not numbered; where there ts much land and few men; where it Is cheaper and easier to make A fresh road, over . new bit of land than to repair the ruta of the old track. But when the sun Roea down behind hill, throwing ., bright light on the foliage of the wood opposite a foliage not of Q dusky blue green, but with the dark pines relieved by the light est, freshest green, the green of the birch es-and the light wrinkles on the silver birch stems and the surface of the quiet river turns to gold, then one sees the Rus sian sunset as portrayed by TpRGeneff with 8 glamour over ita SlOVeliness. At that moment the sight recalled the land scape seen so often in stage painting; and [ the Russian peasants are opera chorus peasants, dressed in bright red skirts buckled around the waist and hanging loose over the trowsers, which are always thrust into long boots. Over the skirt they wear 8 sheep skin coming down to their ankles. The women wear pink or red dresses the SAv likes bright eolors), bead necklaces, 8 gaudy handkerchief over the head, and the legs, when they are not bare, tied round with bands.-St James, Gazette.

Raths fin New York and London.

Few cities in the world seem to be so Ill provided with that which is one of the ne- cessities of healthy life-the ready means of bathing-as New York is. In the over crowded tenement houses bathrooms are unknown, and there are no waShhouses. Washing must be done in the room in which the family lives, and in many cases sleep, drinking in the seeds of disease from an atmosphere reeking with foul steam. What wonder if home loses its attractions and is merely regarded as 8 night shelter, and escape is sought from its stifling atmosphere in the saloon, dance hall or street. The homes of the poor can never be it for civilized beings to live in until baths and washhouses are established within the reach and means of every poor man. Baths and WashhOuses are i'll suc- cessful operation in all the leading towns in England and on the continent, and there can be no doubt that similar estab- lishments would be equally successful in New York.
 A few remarks on the London baths may, perhaps, serve good purpose and help to practical results. London has up- ward of twenty public baths and wash houses and about twenty-five establish ments with only swimming and private baths. Counting three to each establish 1nent, a total of 135 swimming baths. Bathing is also allowed, morning and evening, in the lakes of the London parks, affording accommodation to many thou sand bathers. The public baths and washhouses, although not erected with any idea of profit, have more than paid expenses and in many cases proved very remunerative.-Cor.N New York Times.

CANNING FRUITS.

F. M. Augur, the state pomologist, writes to the Meriden Republican The abun- dance of fruit of all kinds this year sug- gests to every good housekeeper the lm- portance of having good supply canncd for home use. The peach and pear are the two great fruits for canning, and both are abundant and cheap. A few hints regard ing canning may not be unwelcome.
 1st. Glass cans are far safer than metal lie, and they are found with the dealers everywhere. The Mason can is a g., one. but the Lightning can Ia the best As we have found by fall experience i; it is simple. easy to operate, and sure. How ever. there are many patents, aud the particular kind is not so important If they are perfect in sealing,
 2d. Avoid the use of anti -ferment liq uids. They are unwholesome. SAlycilliC acid. beracic Rcii and other anti-ferm ants strong En0ngh 10 destroy ferment gems atC too strong for the delicate tissues ot tht stomach, used continuously. Dr. NicholI of Boston. good authority, says there n no occasion for using them, and their con tinuous use IS not Hafe.
 Our plan of canning is this Peel auC cut in halves cook just sufficiently in sauce pan or stew kettle 1; when done, ,pacl in quart cans closely with spoon, using iust sufficient syrup. In this way mucl more fruit eau bs packed in than whel cooked in the Can, again it is less trouble The OIdmixon and Stump the World ar considered the best, all things considered They are cheaper than the Crawford, an' many regard them as more delicate il flavor. A yellow heshed peach is doubt less more popular, hence most expensive We suggeA that with the great abupdanc of the Oldmixon now in the market, ths people try them or Stump the World, an we are sure they will be well satisfied.

 The Mexicans heard the French bugles, and in another moment Quinquambo was in tumult of disorder.
 But the defenders Of th& town, WeaKcueo by the departure of their comrades in the morning, were unable to cope with any thing like strong force, and no sooner did the French dash through the outposts than the Mexicans fled to the woods, fully half of them being shot down before they reached shelter.

THE COW AND HER CALF.

Teaching Q Young Bovine e sDFam&-@@y-
 fish Crnslty ss Animsla.
 ''Learning'' calf to dSink was one of my boyish crosses. The natural position of calf in nursing Is one with the head elevated, and the nose turned up. Of course there is opposition when these pO- sitions are exactly reversed, and the calf has to swallow up instead of down. Every . country boy knows all about the proeess; how he sticks his horny hand and nail tipped fingers into the tender mouth, hith- erto accustomed only to the soft teat of the mother; how the frightened animal struggles; how he jams It's head down into the milk; how ths eA2E ''bants" and drives the milk tn showers into thA face of the boy, and how in time the little juvenile paases from a sucker to dTInker, and then Is ready for the advent Of the buyer.
 Removed by long time from these CO., currences, find there is eomathing truly pathetic in the life of the RvsEaga calf and it's mother. She is deprived Of 1t at the earliest possible moment ip order that her milk may be used for the dairy, and pend ing the arrival of purchaser H is fed on @ thinned milk less exp8hsive than the original article. Whoever in city or coun- try has seen q COW in company with her calf has noticed every evidence of a warm affection. When opportunity ofEers she laps its skin with her tongue. and caresSes it with her nose, and places herself in- vitingiy in position to enable 1t to reach the fountain of nourishmsnt.
 When the calf Is taken away, her dis tress is as evident as tAat of . woman who has lost her ehE1d- Her melancholy cry rolls across the e0wntry and S echoed from the hills. Taers are in it qualities of grief that are as paipabls As k Sm- bodied in the human voiee. All the day, and during the solermn stkllnesS of tho night, at 1ntsrvals of afsw minutes, the dolorous call of the mosAsR for heR miss- ing child breaks on tha saR.
 To the boy there e nothing pMthstAe in the occurrence. E As something which \ to him matter of course He is yst c savage.

The Latest FsminiRe Faney.

The very latest for young ladies' fancy work is to make yachting pillows for the gentlemen of their dcquadntanee who hap pen to own yachts. Every one who has ever ''safled o'er the blue water" knows how necessary to comfort gre sofa pillows in the cabin; every one wiaheS to doEe or lon about, and pillows are in demand; there can't be too many of them. The pillow exclusively for yachts is covered with navy blue sateen that Is laced on to the pillow on either side by a white cord and tassel. This gives it . nautical ap- pearance at once. Have 8 design of the yacht stamped on one aide of the blue covering, and work in outline stitch with white silk. On the reverse side have the name of the yacht stamped in large letters in old English text, and also work with white silk in outline stitch. They are very pretty, easily done, and 8 most appropriate present. If one desires to give still more, an ensign nag to match is attractive, with the initials of the owner worked upon the blue field as well as the name of the yacht New York Mall and Express.
